Preventing Heart Attack using Natural Herbs

Heart is the single most important organ in our body. It is mainly responsible for pumping blood using rhythmic contractions. Interruption in the flow of blood to any of the four chambers of the heart causes heart cells to die and it normally occurs due to rupture of accumulated fats. This in turn restricts the flow of blood and results in oxygen shortage. A condition like this if left untreated can cause severe damage to the heart muscle.

Accumulation of fat in our heart happens over regular intake of foods which are high in saturated fats like ghee, butter, vegetable fats, vegetable oil, cow’s milk, and dairy products. Initially, as the fat starts depositing, the heart muscles experience a strain causing a slight chest pain. This is the first symptom of fat accumulation and is mostly ignored by many eventually allowing fats to build up inside the arteries.

Natural herbs are a gift to mankind. Most of them are natural antibiotics (In French antibiotique naturel), very powerful and effective and give immediate relief if taken in proper form. Some of the natural herbs have proved over time as a remedy for reducing the fat deposits in the arterial walls. Here are some very simple tips which can be followed daily to maintain our heart in good health.

Ginger Juice: Ginger has blood thinning property and is a very strong natural antibiotic. It helps to dilute the blood and keep us active and vibrant. Ginger cardiac symptom(In French cardiaque symptome) plays different role when taken in different form. When it is mixed with our regular meal, the result may be almost nothing. But regular intake of hot ginger decoction in empty stomach helps to lessen chest pain and also reduces the fat deposit in our heart. Ginger juice mixed with few drops of lemon is more effective as vitamin C in lemon juice helps to reduce cholesterol level.

Plain hot water: As far as food is concerned, temperature plays a very important role. A glass of water taken in at normal temperature has different effect on our body than a glass of hot water. Regular intake of plain hot water in empty stomach is very helpful in flushing out body toxins and eliminates body fat.

Liquid diet: People having diabetes are more prone to heart attack (In French crise cardiaque). Maintaining proper BMI is essential in such cases. Fruit juices and soups provide the necessary vitamins and minerals and also help to maintain the cholesterol level.

Even though the above specified remedies have proven to be very safe way to eliminate fat and thin the blood, to be on the safer side consulting a naturopathist is always better if you are already on some blood thinning medication.

Certain things become difficult to manage when proper steps are not taken in the initial stage itself. The same holds for heart attack too. Nature has trained us in such a way that when things start to go out of hand, we are intimated with a warning signal. Whether to ignore that warning or take action in the initial stage is in our hands.
